Individual Outplacement Program
Our proactive approach establishes effective working relationships with all stakeholders in the outplacement process, including senior management, HR leaders and line managers/supervisors. We begin with pre-termination consulting to gain an understanding of business rationale, organizational protocols, expected outcomes and the effects of the process on the organization.
Onsite notification support includes recommendations for handling the notification and communication processes, advice on the handling of behavioral issues and debriefing meetings with management/staff following completion of the separation activities. Following notification, we immediately begin same day/next day follow-up with affected employees to “check in,” clarify next steps and set appointments to begin the transition process. Our focus is on positive steps to move them forward.
Fitzgerald Stevens & Ford/OI offers a variety of program options that are designed to meet a wide range of organizational and individual needs. Based upon employee level, service length and other situational factors, we offer program options from one month to one year. In addition, our partner firms are specialists in customizing any of our programs to fit your needs.
Our programs are results-driven, and success is defined as helping the employee toward meeting his or her career goals, not just finding the “next job.”
Individual outplacement program components include:
Adjusting to the job loss
Exploring and defining personal interests, skills and abilities
Preparing effective marketing materials
Identifying and managing a personal network
Handling interviews effectively
Managing a search campaign
Negotiating strategies for salary and compensation
Thriving in the new position
Co-Managed Individual System™
OI’s proprietary individualized career transition program enables the participant and consultant to jointly determine the best selection of services that meet the candidate’s needs. The employer establishes a budget for the services and the employee steers the delivery of services to those areas most helpful in the transition.
